Younger patients with lung cancer are mostly female and have a more advanced stage at initial diagnosis. To our knowledge, no studies have compared single-surgical treatment in different age groups among women. Our study aimed to elucidate the clinicopathological characteristics and the best strategies for surgically treating young women with non-small-cell lung cancer.<h4>Methods</h4>The data were collected retrospectively from the Polish Lung Cancer Study Group database. Women who were surgically treated for non-small-cell lung cancer between 2007 and 2020 were included in the study. The participants (n=11,460) were divided into two subgroups: aged ≤55 and >55 years.<h4>Results</h4>Statistically significanTranslational lung cancer research2382-2394https://www.ebi.ac.uk/biostudies/studies/S-EPMC9830258biostudies-literatureThe clinico-pathological characteristics of surgically treated young women with NSCLC.PMC9830258Domagala-Kulawik JDziedzic DAWoznica KDziedzic MGryszko GMOrlowski TMTrojnar ASienkiewicz-Ulita ACackowski MMZbytniewski MfalseThe clinico-pathological characteristics of surgically treated young women with NSCLC.<h4>Background</h4>Non-small cell lung cancer diagnosed in young patients is rare.
